Context: The National Post is the right-wing rag of Canadian newspapers. I trust them to be unbiased about as much as I'd trust a paper like the Vancouver Courier (a local left-wing rag) to be unbiased.

It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?

I would note that I believe both are the same article, however, taken from The Canadian Press.

i’m so fucking tired of the “personal empowerment” aspect of feminism that libfems latch onto - i don’t give a shit if stripping makes you feel “empowered”, or if wearing eyeliner so sharp it could kill a man makes you feel “empowered”, or if filming porn makes you feel “empowered”, you are STILL HURTING WOMEN. feminism is not about the individual, it is about the collective, and the fact of the matter is, makeup still upholds traditional standards of beauty, so i don’t care if you “do it for yourself”, you’re still upholding patriarchal structures. and the fact of the matter is, more women in sex work are abused than not, so no, i don’t give a flying fuck if your experiences haven’t been bad, or if you love what you do, or if you feel empowered, but you are STILL PERPETUATING SYSTEMS OF VIOLENCE AGAINST AND OPPRESSION OF WOMEN. just because it doesn’t personally affect you doesn’t mean it’s not harmful to other women. feminism isn’t about the individual, it’s about the collective

Any sufficiently radical feminism is indistinguishable from patriarchy.
